Welcome to Young at Heart Dance

Welcome to Young at Heart Dance where the combination of dance and exercise come together to bring a fun, healthy and very sociable way of keeping fit for anyone over the age of 50.

I have watched the Young at Heart Dance classes grow and develop over the last 8 years in North and South Lanarkshire and have been delighted at the positive response received from so many of the participants who have joined in. I thought that it was the perfect time to introduce 3 new classes in Glasgow's west end, in Hyndland, Milngavie and in Bearsden.

The Classes

All Young at Heart Dance classes cost £5 and payment is made when you attend each class on a pay as you go basis. Class sizes are restricted to a maximum number so places will be limited.
